1. AIRMOTION floor pump \u2013 for a good gravel ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next gravel tour has to be carefully planned. So check your tyre pressure before each trip as this has a big influence on grip and riding performance. Gravel tyres can be easily inflated with the AIRMOTION 12.0<\/a> floor pump. You can read the pressure accurately on the precision pressure gauge at the top \u2013 because every bar matters when you are gravel biking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. AIRSPY tyre pressure sensor \u2013 for full control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Upgrade for better performance: The dust -proof and watertight AIRSPY<\/a> tyre pressure sensor continuously monitors the air pressure of bicycle tyres. The data is transferred to smartphones with the SKS MYBIKE app or a Garmin <\/a>bike computer. In case of a slow puncture, the sensor attached to the valve warns you in good time via the in-app alarm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. EXPLORER bikepacking bags \u2013 for your outdoor gravel adventure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starry skies, campfires and the feeling of freedom. Bikepacking combines cycling pleasure with a touch of outdoor survival. But where do you put your tent, sleeping bag and other items? Turn your gravel bike into a packhorse: The waterproof SKS bikepacking bags offer plenty of storage space, as well as lots of user-friendly features, such as a vent valve, adjustable straps and spacers for individual adjustment or a clip-on mudguard on the saddle bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. COMPIT+\/POWER mobile phone holder \u2013 for a smart connection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s fun to navigate through unfamiliar terrain while gravel biking. With a COMPIT+\/POWER<\/a>, you always have a view of your smartphone. The mobile phone holder is ideal for gravel bikes because even in rough off-road use your mobile phone remains firmly connected to the bayonet mount. A power bank with a wireless charging function, which can be attached to the system with just a twist, provides additional energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. SPEEDROCKER \u2013 for a smile instead of freckles <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rock the gravel! The SPEEDROCKER<\/a>, specially developed for gravel bikes, conjures up a broad smile on your face instead of spray water. A special feature is the double spoiler function on the front mudguard and the telescopic extension profile. Anyone who wants to protect the riders behind them from the notorious “freckles” will attach the SPEEDROCKER EXTENSION<\/a> mudguard extension to their rear mudguard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. AIRFLEX EXPLORER mini pump \u2013 for air power on the go<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your tyre pressure should be adjusted whilst out and about depending on the surface. The small and lightweight AIRFLEX EXPLORER<\/a> ensures the right air pressure. The valve-friendly mini pump with a pull-out hose provides you with sufficient space for pumping up to 5 bar. With the dust cap the pump head is protected against moisture and dirt, especially when riding off-road. So nothing stands in the way of boundless gravel biking fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
